roguelikedeck-buildingI like the occasional roguelike, but the only deck-building game I've ever liked is Pokemon Trading Card game on the original GameBoy... until now. Balatro has consumed my soul and I've played it on my phone literally every day for the last week. And I still haven't been able to complete a run.

sci-fipost-apocalypticSeason 2 was not as good as the first season, but that's a hard act to follow. I still enjoyed it, it answered some questions, and they're clearly setting up some big things for the future. Need more Dogmeat, though, he was just a prop this season!
A website to destroy all websites, by Henry from Online
Found this recently and it really spoke to me, or whatever. I've been adding more "personal" stuff to this site so it's more than just a blog with a bunch of guides on how to do things. (Although that will always remain the main focus.) I strongly suggest this insightful article about the internet and websites.

adventuresocial simulationI played the shit out of this game during the COVID lockdowns like everyone else. I eventually stopped playing in 2021, but my wife did not really, aside from some breaks here and there -- she has over 2000 hours and counting on the game. She is pleased that I'll be joining her again for a little while with the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.

metroidvaniaaction-adventurefirst-personThe original Metroid Prime is one of my favorite games of all time, I did not like Metroid Prime 2: Echoes as much and never even played Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. I loved Metroid Prime 4 for the most part, it felt like a return to the first game's roots, but some changes were a step (or three) backwards and the ending was just plain bad.
Wooden cutting boards are the best

The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.
In the current, digitized world, trivial information is accumulating every second, preserved in all its triteness. Never fading, always accessible... All this junk data preserved in an unfiltered state, growing at an alarming rate.

tactical rpgturn-basedfantasyI'm a huge fan of the original FFT, I would go back to play it on a PSX emulator once every few years, and even bought it for Android. (Oddly the version with the best performance.) This remaster with QOL improvements, all new features and gameplay segments, full voice acting for all characters, and an easier difficulty to re-learn the game make this the true definitive edition.
